How to load environment from .env files

[DenuxPlays]

Description

I've set up my development.yaml file to load env vars but it seems that the whole parsing process does not load a .env file before parsing the config.

To Reproduce

Add this to your config:

# Queue Configuration
queue:
  kind: Redis
  # Redis connection URI
  uri: {{get_env(name="REDIS_URL")}}
  # Dangerously flush all data in Redis on startup. dangerous operation, make sure that you using this flag only on dev environments or test mode
  dangerously_flush: false

Now execute:

cargo loco db create

See a parsing error.

Expected Behavior

Load the env vars from the .env file.

Current workaround:
Put the following line in your main.rs and tool.rs files:

dotenvy::dotenv().expect("Failed to load .env file");

Also add dotenvy as a dependency:

dotenvy = "0.15.7

[jondot]

we leave .env loading for the user. this can be done via adding dotenvy to your main.rs or by having the workload/container/pod load the environment variables out of the app's concerns. Many times the environment itself sets this up (e.g. shuttle.rs or fly.io)

Ahh okay
Not my preferred way but understandable.
